Portable App Development

Hi folks,

I just started with portable apps. My goal ist to make an qt-based app portable to run from an USB flash drive. This app uses no registry keys but unfortunately it places somes data in the directory where Windows environment variable "%USERPROFILE% points to.

Is it necessary to move each file in %PAL:DataDir%\settings separately using
[FilesMove]
settings\xxx.aaa=%APPDATA%\...
if *.* is used in place of xxx.aaa,all the settings are not transferred..
For opera there are 28 files in settings directory..

Olá, galera existe uma enorme variedades de softwares portáteis na internet, pois bem gostaria de passar o nome de algum deles que poderiam ser embalados por PortableApps, daí a questão porque não embalam eles:

HeidiSQL5.1Portable;
FluffyApp0.8.3;
PhotoScapePortable;
QuickSys RegDefrag 2.9;
Recuva Portable 1.38.504;
Revo Uninstaller Portable 1.89;
USB Webserver 8;

Alguns programas.
Poderiam simplesmente estar entrando em contato com os desenvolvedores e fazer acordo para embalar!! O que acham??

Hello everyone.

I've recently started working with the "PortableApps.com Launcher 2.0".

I have an issue I can't get around:

Briefly :

I need a way of accounting for a changing data directory location, that cannot be accounted for using environment variables(of windows or the launcher's internal vars). I could solve the problem if [FileWriteN] allowed for wild-cards(*,?) - or it was possible to define custom variables.

----
The launcher .ini file:

[Launch]
ProgramExecutable=InstantInvoiceCashBook\InstantInvoiceCashBook.exe

[FileWrite1]
Type=replace

After carefully followin the "guerilla guide" posted by oliver specifically the registry changes section, i created a launcher for orbit downloader.. Now when run the launcher it goes back to the default settings..I created almost 26 keys under [RegistryValue] specifically for HKCU.. The app stores some .xml & .dat files in %APPDATA% folder..

I'm using 2.0 beta 5 pre 2.

I was updating Apps, but the firewall blocked the download of additional parts (Skype, ...)

The update didn't succeed for these Apps, but at the end the message said it was successful.

Later on the Update functionality showed no need for updates although Skype was not usable any more.

Guys i'm just learning how to make a portable app wit PortableApps.comDeveloper'sKit..

i used regshot to take an initial snapshot and after installing the required software i took the 2Nd shot and saw the changes in .html format.. Now i dont know wat to do.. There are some registry changes and some changes @ file level like creating folders in %APPDATA% and other folders..

Good day to all. again i'm for some question for me to improve in making portableapps. my question is this. How would I put a check box installer's finish page saying "Start AppPortable" and when the user clicks finish it would automatically start the installed app. thank you.

Is there any way to block portable applications from internet?
I think it has to be something like a portable firewall?
